Gary E. Smith, President The American Bandmasters Association Welcome ABA members: The American Bandmasters Association represents a history of tradition and service to our profession. As we look to our founder, Edwin Franko Goldman, we continue to refine our mission of promoting the concert band and its repertoire. The membership of our association represents the outstanding conductors and composers associated with the wind band. In addition to recognizing exceptional musicians through invitational membership into the Association, we collectively pool the resources associated with these master conductors and composers through projects that will benefit all in our profession. Our national conventions are exciting, entertaining, and educational. They are an opportunity to renew old friendships and establish new ones. This year’s convention promises to offer new experiences and perpetuate our traditions, purpose, activities and philosophies. Welcome to the Gateway of the West! Gary E. Smith 1 Colleagues: Teresa and I would like to welcome you to Fort Worth and the Texas Christian University campus for the 84th Annual Convention of the American Bandmasters Association, March 6-11, 2018. We are thrilled to show you the best of what Fort Worth and our surrounding areas offer. You will see why Fort Worth is known as the city “Where the West Begins” and why Fort Worth is considered “the museum capital of the Southwest.” You can explore six museums, all world-famous for their architecture and collection quality. Of course, no visit to Fort Worth is complete without a stop at the legendary Stockyards National Historic District. Unique attractions such as the Fort Worth Herd – the world’s only twice-daily cattle drive – thrill visitors year-round. Top country music performers play the stage at Billy Bob’s Texas, the world’s largest honky-tonk, and a live rodeo takes place every weekend at the Cowtown Coliseum. Shopping for handcrafted cowboy boots, hats, clothing and souvenirs is abundant in the Stockyards. Our visit to Grapevine, Texas will include a glass blowing demonstration, shopping and wine tasting and end with a ride home on a VINTAGE TRAIN with live jazz and wine! You may also choose to enjoy a golf outing at Texas Star, one of the area’s best courses. The TCU campus is beautiful, and your experience here will start on Wednesday evening with a complimentary “WELCOME DINNER” at our beautifully renovated football stadium’s CHAMPIONS LOUNGE. And yes, your welcome to Texas will start with some fabulous Texas BBQ! The School of Music offers the grand traditional Ed Landreth Auditorium for many of our concerts.

    ALL-STATE BAND For the first fifty-five years of its existence the South Dakota All-State Band consisted of one large ensemble. In 2006, for the first time, the All-State Band was divided into two separate but equal smaller ensembles. Each of the smaller All- State ensembles was given its own name ( “Lewis ” and “Clark ” named after two of South Dakota’s most famous historic personalities), each had its own separate concert and had its own conductor. The 2011 All-State Band was held at the Yankton High School Summit Theatre in Yankton, March 24-26, 2011. There were 786 students registered to audition at the six centers throughout the state. From this group, 173 students were selected for membership in the two 2011 All-State Band ensembles. The “Lewis” Band was conducted by Richard Saucedo and the “Clark” Band was directed by Joseph Hermann. The 2011 All-State Band marked the 61st Annual All-State Concert with 43 schools being represented in the band. The number of students participating from these schools was as follows: SF Lincoln 32 Brookings 8 Yankton 5 Mitchell 2 RC Stevens 13 SF O’Gorman 6 Groton Area 4 Parkston 2 SF Roosevelt 12 Watertown 6 Freeman Academy 3 SF Christian 2 Brandon Valley 11 Aberdeen Central 5 Pierre T.F.

  • The GIA Historical Music Series
    2017 Music Education Catalog At GIA, we aspire to create innovative resources that communicate the joys of music making and music learning—that delve deeper into what it means to be musical. By working with leading authors who represent the very best the profession has to offer—preschool through college and beyond—GIA seeks to help music teachers communicate the joy, art, skill, complexity, and knowledge of musicianship. This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the launch of the Teaching Music through Performance series, which has become an indispensible resource for conductors looking to identify and perform the best repertoire, and to hear perspectives from top conductors and educators. With texts and recordings for band, orchestra, choir, and jazz, the series is truly at the forefront. In 2017, we are proud to release Vol. 4 for Choir (page 14) featuring a new team of editors, five CDs of Resource Recordings for Jazz and Beginning Jazz (pages12-13). And new books by Eugene Corporon, Ray Cramer, Ed Lisk, and Tim Lautzenheiser bring chapters from across the series into convenient one-author volumes (pages 8-11). This year, we are proud to publish the first ever musical theatre textbook (pages 16-17), a leading new marching band resource (page 26), a primer on songwriting (page 19), a stunning folk song picture book (page 45), books on music education advocacy (page 21), work-life balance (page 7)—and so much more! Thank you for taking time to explore this catalog! We’re happy to send single copies of the resources in this catalog on an “on approval” basis with full return privileges for 30 days.
